Rufous HB Feather

I found part of the remains of a rufous hummingbird and did some work with one of the wing feathers. This has had significant post processing and I think I may be over the line as to this being better in an art gallery. Moderators I have no hard feelings if you move this.

I like the low-key look & diagonal comp, nice colors.
The drop at feather tip adds interest, and the coarse dark threads of the substrate make a good BG as well.
Probably better in the photo art gallery, since the bird seems to have flown the coop :biggrin:
Happy Holidays Charlie :wavey:
